As Golan arrests Emma's suspected killer, Peter makes a startling discovery that changes everything. In Croatia, Avram and the red heifer are kidnapped by a stranger with a mysterious agenda. In New Mexico, Tad Billingham desperately tries to keep Debbie and Josh from exposing his secrets.

The religious overlap--both Christian and Jewish extremists appear to be involved; the word is still out on the Muslims--lends Dig a certain resonance and depth, just as the location work in Jerusalem gives it authenticity. But in the end, it's about a man who needs to save the world to save himself. Or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, Dig promises to be a whole lot of crazy fun to watch.

Tim Kring (“Heroes”) and Gideon Raff (“Homeland”) teamed to create this 10-episode miniseries, and while they’re smart enough to acknowledge their debt to “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” they aren’t able to match their source material.

Beyond its handsome locations (shooting extensively in Israel) and impressive list of players, Dig keeps referencing the grand forces at work, but also does little to divulge what they are. And while that might be fine for those determined to hunker down for this entire 10-episode event, it can feel a bit tiresome to others still debating whether the show merits such a commitment.

Rob Owen

It's one crazy mess of a TV "event series" that doesn't make much effort to clarify what it's about in the early going, plopping viewers into two concurrent plots that will presumably intersect at some point.

Hank Stuever

Dig bears the telltale scars of hack TV assembly--a little of this, a little of that, all of it meant to tie together eventually for the viewer who can endure all the hammy setup and self-seriousness (and stale ideas) seen in the first few episodes.

Kristi Turnquist

Dig spends too much time building ominous atmosphere, and hinting at vast schemes that may change the course of history--that again--and not enough time giving us a reason to stay tuned as he convoluted plot unfolds.

Keith Uhlich

There’s little rhyme or reason to the way the series jumps between locales and doles out its prevalent plot twists, and that kills most of the desire to see how these disparate narrative threads will eventually converge.

The convoluted narrative either pulls you in with its layers of intrigue and mystery storytelling OR it pushes you away as it gets so nonsensical and overheated that you give increasingly less of a damn. Dig is way more of the latter, despite the best efforts of a talented cast. I just didn’t care, and I cared less and less as the first three episodes unfolded.
